Behavioural Disorders in children and Homoeopathy

Some children have extremely difficult and challenging behaviours that are outside the norm for their age.These problems can result from temporary stressors, or they might represent more enduring disorders. The most common behaviour disorders include oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), conduct disorder (CD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Boys are more likely than girls to suffer from behavioural disorders. Treatment options include parent management training, cognitive behaviour therapy, medication and treatment for associated problems. The choice of homoeopathic remedy is governed by the facts available at the time of the interview. The remedy may thus differ as the child grows.
